What is the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF)?
- Arlington Security Portal - Show on: Side Bar
The NIST RMF is a comprehensive, flexible, risk-based approach and process that integrates security, privacy, and cyber supply chain risk management activities into the system development life cycle. Additionally, the RMF is purposefully designed to be technology neutral so that the methodology can be applied to any type of information system without modification. As such, The RMF provides a dynamic and flexible approach to effectively manage security and privacy risks in diverse environments with complex and sophisticated threats, evolving missions and business functions, and changing system and organizational vulnerabilities.
There are seven (7) steps within the NIST RMF, which are the following:
- Prepare
- Categorize
- Select
- Implement
- Assess
- Authorize
- Monitor
DoD and other federal contractors providing services to governmental agencies have strict requirements for implementing the NIST RMF - and showcasing compliance - through a wide-range of regulatory reporting frameworks & mandates (DFARS NIST 800-171, CMMC, FISMA, FedRAMP, NISP eMASS, and more).
